I was never a huge Smiths fan, but lots of my FB friends are and now they are very happy I posted this. Thanks for making me look cool, Cash4Lead.posted by emjaybee at 10:31 AM on August 14, 2013 [2 favorites]

My friends who have tried (and tried and tried) to convince me that I should be a Smiths fan will be happy I posted this on Facebook. And possibly my non-Smiths-fan friends, too, since it amused me.posted by EvaDestruction at 10:37 AM on August 14, 2013

I used to think that if you had
a toy piano
it meant that you were
a romance singer.
Oh, I can smile about it now,

That was wonderful. I'd have used 'I dreamt about you last night, and I fell out of bed twice' as Lucy talking to Schroder, leaning over his piano - the sort of strip that ends with him exclaiming "good grief!".

But Charlie writing letters to a buck-toothed red headed girl in Luxembourg that he met at camp? Oh yes, that works perfectly.posted by Infinite Jest at 1:32 PM on August 14, 2013 [1 favorite]

Is it sad that thinking of the amount of money I rolled into collecting Smiths 12" singles back when GI Bill money made life easy puts me in the sorts of moods that listening to those same records put me in when I was collecting them?posted by Fezboy! at 3:17 PM on August 14, 2013 [2 favorites]
